fx-8150 cpu fan suggestions

[x4warrior]

I have a fx-8150 with stock cpu fan. It overheats when playing games so i'm looking for a new one, that will fit inside my case:

I prefer just regular fan rather than a water cooler, as i doubt i'd have room to place it

Phanteks TC-12DX. I use one on my 2500k, and its very very good and also looks great. After tweeking my settings further I have got my 2500k to 4.5Ghz and it barely hits 60'c on Intel burn test, and barely 50'c on Prime95.

$15 more than the 212, but well worth it for the better looks and performance.

Actually no. I have one of these, and its intentionally designed to go high enough and narrow enough to not cause any obstruction to RAM. I have Corsair Vengence ram with the high heatsinks too, and it fits fine, the phanteks is very well designed.

all you do is put a pea sized dot in the middle of the CPU and make sure you lower down the cooler with even pressure

yeah it doesnt fit still since on the side of my case i already have 2 fans , so my case does not close i was thinking of the h100i water cooler but idk if i'd have room for it ( even if i remove the fans on the side )

you should try to avoid putting side fans, they mess with your airflow.

The best setup for fans is a front and/or bottom intake fans and a top exhaust fan or two if you prefer. Side fans are likely to create turbulence especially if you have a graphics card in the region the side fans are blowing, because they too have fans that are blowing air out.

try to keep an even flow of air running through your system instead of cramming as much fans in there as possible.

if it doesn't fit, you could like you said use that water cooler they take up less space around the CPU.

and the side fan and front fan are the only two fans blowing in air, the top and back blow out the air

If that's the case (no pun intended) then you can just unscrew the fans from the side panel and then attach them to the top of the case, your case specs shows that it has 2 120mm fan slots at the top of the case.

however if you are looking to use the water cooling method you can attach the 120x240mm fan to the top of your case and just remove the two side fans if they're in the way. (you dont need the side fans anyway)

and if you want maybe use one of the side panel fans as another front intake fan, so you'll end up with 2 front intake fans, one rear exhaust fan and the water cooling fans on top of your case.
